  • Resumen

  • Joseph Philippe Lemercier Laroche (1886–1912) was a Haitian-born engineer who in 1904 became the only Black student in his class at the École Centrale Paris. After graduating, racial barriers kept him from securing an engineering post in France, so he returned to Haiti and worked briefly before marrying and starting a family. In 1912, Laroche and his pregnant wife and two young daughters booked passage on the RMS Titanic bound for a new life in America. Tragically, he perished when the ship sank on April 15, 1912—his wife and children were lost as well. Though his life was cut short, Laroche’s ambition and achievements still resonate as a testament to perseverance against prejudice.
